Roberto reflects on City
19 October 2014|Tottenham Hotspur
Roberto Soldado was left to reflect on the key moments going against us in our 4-1 loss at City on Saturday.
The striker was central to the action with the game in the balance midway through the second half and City 2-1 up at the Etihad.
Roberto was brought down for a penalty on 61 minutes and picked himself up to take the spot-kick only to see Joe Hart save his effort down to his right.
Just two minutes later and Roberto was there again, this time meeting Danny Rose's low cross with a sweet strike from 14 yards that Hart kept out with his legs.
City then struck the decisive blow as Federico Fazio was sent off for a tug on Sergio Aguero, who slotted home from the penalty spot for 3-1. Aguero soon fired home his fourth and that's how it stayed.
"It was an open game for both sides," said Roberto. "We had chances to score in the first half and later to go on to win the game.
"In the second half we had the opportunity with my penalty to make it 2-2 but after this when Federico got the red card the game was over.
"I felt good on the pitch and my confidence was up when I went to take the penalty but the keeper saved it.
"One minute after my penalty I had another attempt with my left foot which was close but the keeper saved with his legs. It was a big opportunity for us as well but it wasn't possible to score.
"Five minutes later Aguero scored and we got a red card and that finished the game.
"It was a good performance and we wanted the three points but it didn't happen today.
"Now we need to forget this game ahead of Thursday and Sunday and look forward. We are producing some good performances and we need to keep this going. I am working hard and I think the goals are coming soon."
We take on Asteras Tripolis in our third group match in the Europa League at White Hart Lane on Thursday before facing Newcastle back at the Lane on Sunday week, October 26.

In December, the archive of the Arvo Pärt Centre received a priceless addition when Maaja Rumessen, the widow of the pianist and musicologist Vardo Rumessen, gave a box full of valuable archive materials to the Arvo Pärt Centre. This box contains personal materials, notebooks, concert programmes and newspaper cuttings related to Arvo Pärt's work, dated up to 1980, when the composer was forced to emigrate from the Soviet Union.
Arvo Pärt Centre to participate in international education project "Music in Movement"
The Arvo Pärt Centre is participating in the international education project "Music in Movement", which aims to introduce prominent composers of our time in a new and engaging way, thereby bringing classical contemporary music closer to a wider audience. The project focuses particularly on mediating new music for children and young people.
Vox Clamantis – 20
Today Vox Clamantis celebrates 20 years together, and during much of that time, the ensemble's repertoire has included the work of contemporary composers along side early music. Many years of close cooperation and warm friendship have bound Arvo Pärt and the ensemble together, and today Vox Clamantis is one of the most beloved and esteemed ambassadors of the music of Pärt in the world. The composer Arvo Pärt and the Arvo Pärt Centre would like to extend warm wishes to Vox Clamantis and its artistic director Jaan-Eik Tulvet on the occasion of this important anniversary.

Conservative councillors failed to table one member's item at last night's Housing Committee whilst Labour councillors raised five important housing issues for the people of Barnet. Throughout the entire meeting only one Conservative member other than the Chair even said one word.
Labour councillors successfully proposed that five broad issues in the housing sector be included in a far reaching review of the Council's Housing Strategy.
Member's items proposed and accepted were:
- Investigating the Private Rented Sector
- Looking at the dismal record of affordable housing completions in Barnet
- Investigating the scandal of empty homes, especially buy to leave properties in some new builds.
- To deal with excessive letting agents fees.
- Provide security to non-secure tenants on regeneration estates, many of whom have been non-secure for over ten years and face uncertain futures after they are decanted.
Labour councillors will seek to implement their commitments made in the election manifesto and deliver for Barnet even whilst in opposition.
The 2013 Residents Perception Survey revealed that a lack of affordable housing is one of the top 3 concerns for local residents.
Labour's Housing Spokesperson, Cllr Ross Houston said: "We're in the middle of a housing crisis and we need to find solutions to help people struggling to afford their rent or to get on the housing ladder. The Tories simply haven't done enough on this issue, they seem to have run out of ideas and they don't appear to be very interested either – I thought it was scandalous that only one Tory member of the committee said anything at the first meeting.
"I'm glad that the issues we raised will be looked into as part of the review of the housing strategy - the more information we have the more we can do to help sort the housing crisis out."
When the Labour Group launched their election pledge to establish a Housing Commission to find solutions to the housing crisis, the Tory Housing Boss, Cllr Tom Davey said: "I don't believe there really is a crisis, but there may be an issue where people want to live where they cannot afford to live."

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — A Drexel University professor has been put on leave after his tweets suggested a link between white supremacy and the massacre at a Las Vegas music festival.
Associate professor George Ciccariello-Maher wrote in an op-ed piece published Tuesday by The Washington Post that the college placed him on leave after a series of tweets about the shooting prompted death threats.
Last week, Ciccariello-Maher, who teaches political science and global studies, posted a tweet that read "It's the white supremacist patriarchy, stupid" followed by a series of similar statements. He wrote in the op-ed that threats came in after conservative media outlets highlighted his tweets.
Drexel says that the decision was necessary to ensure the safety of the campus.
Ciccariello-Maher did not respond to an emailed request for additional comment.

If you are a frequent traveller, like me, take notice of the people you see. Some may say, "all I see are just everyday people," but for an image consultant specializing in male grooming like myself, I would say otherwise.
The late Vidal Sassoon spoke truth when he once said that his inspiration derived from "the various things that I've seen on my way to work." In fact, the shapes of buildings were the greatest inspiration to his masterful works. From trendsetting models to actress Mia Farrow's pixie cut for Roman Polanski's big movie Rosemary's Baby, Vidal changed the world.
Envision the techniques of a skillful hair artist bonded with open-minded individuals who dare to wear such styles and this defines the times. There has been a reinvention of the traditional haircut and styling with a new approach to detail. One could wear a hairstyle to work and then to happy hour with a whole new look aided by a little water and or hair product.
Are we living in a Hip Grooming Society? A society in which grooming is a priority making the so-called geek seem as if he is the New Cool?
Men of today are not set on role-playing in the big business world. Today's man pays homage to the classic appeal while still embodying the essence of hipsters of our present day. This is seen in Washington, D.C., one of the most cultural cities in America. In the nation's capital, business professionals would seemingly be expected to look and act in a certain way. Well, some may say that day has come and gone like old politics. Business professionals today may now be dressed in Boss jeans or Faconnable khakis, Burberry shirts and Ralph Lauren Black Label blazers -- and you can't forget Ferragamo loafers with the belt to match. The new Ivy Leaguer are popping their collective collars on Wall Street, freeing up young politicians to have more relaxed, fitted dispositions.
Instead of that old tie, now it's the bow tie seen frequently among our peers. The haircuts worn today are more stylish than ever before. Some get fades, mohawks and pompadours, edgier styles with more flare. Men are even enhancing their haircuts with coloring to hair lightening. More men at an earlier age are embracing their grey hair too. Instead of washing the grey away, they tone the color down to stay.
The return of the part indented in the haircut can be seen from Tokyo to the UK.
The bold new trend are those guys who let their hair go. No, I'm not talking about growing their hair but shaving it all off without any conviction. Blame it on not enough good barbers, right? Kojak would be proud but the popular award goes to M.J. Michael Jordan had everyone wanting to be like him, or at least buy into his image. "Is it the shoes?" Ask Spike Lee but Mike made being bald attractive and his shoe game wasn't bad either.
The most distinguished style in male grooming today is the bearded gentlemen. Whether it's because of religious beliefs or just a part of a crafted image, the impression is felt on a global scale. Men are not only growing beards, they are coloring and trimming them in the spirit of high fashion. The longer the beard grows in some countries, the more you are respected. In Philadelphia, street beards have been the cultural staple. One man from a local barbershop said, "Everybody looks like Abraham Lincoln in Philly!"
The beard is known to be healthy too! It can protect you from different elements like sun rays and skin cancers. It's said that it can reduce allergies and even slow down aging of the skin. Keep in mind that the beards possibility to help you, it can also be bad for you like ingrown hairs if not washed and groomed regularly.
Are we living in a Hip Grooming Society? Look at the new generation of the free world and make your own observation. Maybe Silicon Valley knows what the future brings, possibly the next grooming guru? Ask yourself the next time you sit and get groomed and remember to look at the people around you.

Hair is the one of the most important part of your beauty. What do you think? Do you take care your hair?
Hair is the one of the most important part of your beauty. What do you think? Do you take care your hair? Of course smart girls – but how could you do easily- Do you know there are 10 foods that are waiting for your beautiful hair. Lets Look-
1. Dark Green Vegetables – are an excellent source of vitamins A and C, which your body needs to produce sebum. The oily substance, secreted by your hair follicles, is the body's natural hair conditioner.
Dark green vegetables also provide iron and calcium.
2. Beans – Beans, beans, they're good for your … hair?
Yes, it's true. Beans and lentils should be an important part of your hair-care diet. Not only do they provide plentiful protein to promote hair growth, but ample iron, zinc, and biotin.
3. Nuts – Do you go nuts for thick, shiny hair? You should. Nuts are one of nature's best sources of selenium, an important mineral for the health of your scalp.
Walnuts contain alpha-linolenic acid, an omega-3 fatty acid that may help condition your hair. They are also a terrific source of zinc, as are cashews, pecans, and almonds. A zinc deficiency can lead to hair shedding, so make sure nuts are a regular on your healthy hair menu.
4. Poultry – Chickens and turkeys may have feathers, but the high-quality protein they provide will help give you the healthy hair you crave.
5. Eggs – When it comes to healthy hair, it doesn't matter whether you like your eggs scrambled, fried, or over easy. However they're served up, eggs are one of the best protein sources you can find.
They also contain biotin and vitamin B-12, which are important beauty nutrients.
6. Carrots – Carrots are an excellent source of vitamin A, which promotes a healthy scalp along with good vision.
7. Whole grains – Sink your teeth into hearty whole grains, including whole-wheat bread and fortified whole-grain breakfast cereals, for a hair-healthy dose of zinc, iron, and B vitamins.
8. Low-fat Dairy Products – Low-fat dairy products like skim milk and yogurt are great sources of calcium, an important mineral for hair growth. They also contain whey and casein, two high-quality protein sources.
9. Salmon – When it comes to foods that pack a beauty punch, it's hard to beat salmon. Loaded with omega-3 fatty acids, this high-quality protein source is also filled with vitamin B-12 and iron.
10. Oysters – Oysters may be better known for their reputation as an aphrodisiac, but they can also lead to healthy hair — and who doesn'tlove that?

Lions and Rednecks and Jumps, OH MY!
My post-stall cleaning ride today should have probably been a hack, but it was too wet outside, and I paid the price by having to fight a war with Connor. I cried. It was a terrible ride. We rode in the indoor, with the doors open at one end for the first time this season, with a really tall gymnastic set up on one side and a pile of blocks in the center of the arena. I would get his attention, then lose it, get it, then lose it. I felt like I was yelling "IT IS NOT THE PONY'S JOB TO LOOK FOR LIONS ACROSS THE STREET!" with my body language the entire ride, as he threw his head straight up with his ears on everything but me every time he went past the door, the windows, or the jumps. Dramatic post-ride re-enactment of Giraffe Pony:
We fought and fought, with him taking a mile if I gave an inch with the reins, and me drawing my elbows back and getting tense as a result. Transitions every few strides, lateral work, nothing was working and he was frustrated and I had tears in my eyes. When, after a half-hour of this, he finally sought the bit and got soft everywhere except the open door, I told him 'Good pony!' and pushed my elbows forward, which caused him to relax even more. Hm. I got some good, connected trot work out of him and was a walk transition away from ending on a positive note when our previously-mentioned redneck neighbors started 1) irresponsibly shooting their rifle overandoverandover in the same manner as last time and 2) throwing wood blocks off their second story deck into a trailer below. The horses started running scared in their fields and Connor threw his head straight up. This time it didn't take as long to get to a good note, and when I got it, I quit right there and praised him.

Time to shop
The Hunters are about to leave to New York City. It might be our holiday, but it seems we are not really going to chill. As soon as we arrive we have one our to change before we have our first events. Because tonight we will start with Fashion Night Out. We have an exposition in the W hotel and a shop opening from Lacoste, and an after-party in the Gansevoort. Yes, the fashion week madness is about to start. But what better day to start with than fashion night out. I don't know if you ever experienced, but it is a blast. It is organized by the Vogue, so what could go wrong. The idea behind the evening is to organize a night of fashion for everyone and to support the fashion industry, as well as charities by doing so. Every participating shop organizes an event in their store. I (Hunter Niels) experienced the event twice in London. The first time I was working for Gucci in the store. I was Gucci's candy-man and had to walk around with Gucci ingraved chocolates. Highlight of the people attending the event were: Daisy Low, Alexa Chung and head-designer Frida Giannini. It was my very first job for the event company I worked for. After the Gucci event ended, I went with my colleagues to an event in the same street from Tods. Cool thing was to walk around bondstreet London, and see everybody so fully dressed up in the night while shopping. Once arrived at the event we happen to be in between ginger royals Harry and Beatrice. That is what happened two years ago, so curious what will happen tonight in the big apple. Stay tuned to read all about your New York Fashion Week experiences.

Clean ramping: the next challenge for quick start combined cycle operation
Thanks to flexible quick-start design, today's CCGT plants can start fast and produce low start-up emissions. But now there is a new challenge: how do you keep emissions in compliance while changing load.
Siemens has developed what they call "clean ramp" technology which uses patent pending features to integrate the combined cycle plant's and emissions reduction system controls so that NOx, CO and ammonia slip (from an SCR) remain at base load emission levels even when frequently ramping up or down.
In June 2013, with the cooperation of NRG, the concept was demonstrated in the field with convincing results at the El Segundo combined cycle facility which is powered by two "Flex-Plant 10" 1x1 SGT6-5000F units.
Demo test. Gas turbine ramped up and down at 30 MW/min between 115MW and 180MW base load during two 1-hour test runs.
Control logic. Load change emissions predicted by control logic system used to adjust SCR ammonia injection flow rate to maintain stack emissions.
Test results. Stack NOx and CO emissions maintained at less than 2 ppmvd (at 15% O2) throughout the test with ammonia slip also controlled to under 2 ppmvd.
Other Top Stories
Most environmental permits in the U.S. regulate on a time-averaged requirement, typically over a 1-hour rolling average. When plant load changes only a few times a day, short-lived transients and emissions spikes during startup and ramping are seldom a problem.
But with frequent load changing there is no time to average out the peak and there is a risk of going out of emissions compliance.
Today's quick-start design features enable the gas turbine side of a combined cycle plant to smoothly ramp up to base load output like a simple cycle plant. And do so without holding the gas turbine at low load while the steam turbine is loaded.
This puts MWs on the grid faster than before and, importantly, it results in much lower startup emissions.
Hold-point emissions
Earlier combined cycle plants require that the gas turbine startup cycle include part-load hold points to enable the bottoming cycle to gradually warm up prior to loading.
However, as pointed out by Ramesh Kagolanu, Manager of Environmental Engineering for Siemens Energy, Orlando, low-load gas turbine operation produces much higher levels of NOx and CO than when operating at full load.
Low-load GT emissions for combined cycles fitted with selective catalytic reduction are especially critical because a cold SCR (located within the HRSG) is not very effective at removing NOx and CO produced during startup.
Typically, conventional F-class CCGT plants produce about 180 lbs of NOx and 1,340 lbs of CO (per GT unit) during a cold startup – compared to about 13 lbs NOx and 340 lbs CO for a quick-start plant.
Clean Ramp does it better
The need for "clean ramp" technology is to further reduce those already low emission levels during startup and also to handle variations in gas turbine emissions during load changes, Kagolanu emphasizes.
The objective is to maintain compliance over the full spectrum of combined cycle operation and without having to restrict the amount of ramping requested by the system operator.
Without clean ramp, he says, handling of transient emission spikes would basically depend solely on the gas turbine emissions controls. This could mean placing limits on ramp rates and frequency in order to keep emissions (on a 1-hour rolling average) in compliance.
DLN flame an issue
This issue is due mainly to an inherent limitation of part-load performance of today's dry low NOx (DLN) combustion systems, and regulations that don't always recognize the limitations of the hardware.
A fact of life with advanced gas turbines is they generally produce more NOx and CO when they are changing load, points out Kagolanu.
The reason has to do with the complexity and sensitivity of today's DLN combustion systems, where the fuel supply is typically divided into multiple injection points, or stages.
In addition to two (or sometimes three) lean-premixed flame zones needed for low NOx, there is an upstream diffusion flame pilot zone needed to help maintain combustion stability.
But there is also a less desirable characteristic of the high-temperature diffusion flame pilot zone -- it is the largest contributor to NOx emissions. During steady state operation, fuel flow to the pilot is set at a minimum, as needed to maintain stability in the downstream lean premixed flame zones, and to avoid unwanted combustor dynamics.
During transients, however, the stable nature of the diffusion flame becomes even more critical, so fuel to the pilot is increased. But this causes the engine NOx to increase above the 9 ppm steady state design value and requires a change in SCR operation to maintain control over plant NOx emissions.
A multivariable challenge
"Increasing NOx concentration (ppm) is not the only problem to contend with during load reduction," says Kagolanu.
"It's actually a multivariable challenge since the mass flow through the engine is also changing during load change, as variable inlet guide vanes come into play, so the ammonia injection rate must be adjusted to account for both of these changes happening at the same time."
The key and main technical challenge, he says, is integrating the gas turbine controls with the ammonia injection system in a way that assures reliable and consistent results.
By having access to a large amount of field operating data and, most importantly, being able to change the way the gas turbine itself is controlled, Siemens was able to develop such an integrated control scheme (dubbed "clean ramp") to keep stack emission low during transients.
With growing use of intermittent renewables the expectation is that plants will be required to change load more frequently. As a result, says Kagolanu, it puts a premium on being able to operate with unrestricted ramping and without increasing emissions over the permit limit.
As already noted, trying to accomplish this simply by addressing this problem of part-load engine NOx was not going to offer the desired result.
Solution: link SCR and DLN
According to Siemens, their "Clean Ramp" solution provides an innovative control scheme that enables a direct link between SCR (selective catalytic reduction) and DLN combustion systems when operating under transient conditions.
Power plants in the US commonly use an ammonia-based SCR, located within the HRSG, to control stack emissions to levels substantially below those in the GT exhaust.
For example, if the gas turbine exhaust NOx is 9 ppmvd (current state of the art for modern DLN burners), meeting a permit stack limit of 2 ppmvd requires that the exhaust be further treated to achieve a nearly 80% reduction.
This is done by passing the exhaust through the catalytically supported reaction zone where ammonia (NH3) is injected to react with the NOx, "reducing" it to nitrogen and water vapor.

Here at Chris Wesner Law Office, LLC we believe that consumers of such debt take the opportunity to educate themselves prior to utilizing any form of student loans.
Troy, OH (PRWEB) February 09, 2017
The Chris Wesner Law Office is proud to announce the Fight Student Debt Scholarship. The $1,000 scholarship will be available to any U.S. citizen, or person otherwise authorized to work in the U.S., who has been accepted to an accredited university in Ohio.
The Chris Wesner Law Office has seen firsthand how crippling student debt can affect Ohio residents, and how it can lead to serious ramifications later on in life. Cleveland.com wrote that approximately 65% of college students in Ohio had to borrow money for their education, and the average debt per student nearly reaches $30,000. If these students struggle to pay back their debt after completing school they can be subject to penalties ranging from lower credit scores to wage garnishments and withholding of tax refunds.
When our young citizens are forced to file for bankruptcy because they are overwhelmed by their unsustainable student debt, it affects their ability to become innovative, productive members of the workforce.
Dedicated to helping fight this widespread problem, the Chris Wesner Law Office has created the Fight Student Debt Campaign, aimed at helping Ohioans understand more about student debt, what their options are, and what to do when they need help financially. The introduction of the Fight Student Debt Scholarship is one of the ways the firm hopes to help Ohio students embrace their passion for education without taking on excessive debt.
About the scholarship and the firm's overall commitment to reducing student debt in Ohio, Chris Wesner said, "We are offering our small contribution to help reduce student loan debt. Student loan debt is some of the most insidious debt students and parents can undertake. It is mostly non-dischargeable in bankruptcy, and lenders and colleges often take advantage of the availability and amounts of aid that are available. Here at Chris Wesner Law Office, LLC we believe that consumers of such debt take the opportunity to educate themselves prior to utilizing any form of student loans."
The Fight Student Debt Scholarship will be available to students who are attending an accredited college in Ohio for the Fall 2017 semester. Please refer to the Fight Student Debt Scholarship to learn all of the requirements.
About Chris Wesner Law Office, LLC: Attorney Chris Wesner and his team proudly serve residents throughout the Miami Valley in matters related to bankruptcy filings, criminal defense, personal injury, and estate planning. Mr. Wesner is dedicated to representing each of his clients with compassion and persistence, and he and his firm believe that working to reduce student debt will lead to a stronger Ohio for everyone.

Two recent polls have shown Paul Ryan's selection as Mitt Romney's running mate has helped the ticket and Romney's image.
Gallup found Ryan's addition helped Romney by one percentage point over the weekend. Though that number is hardly significant, Gallup noted that its "data suggest the possibility that Romney may get a delayed bounce, as he fared slightly better in Aug. 13-14 Gallup tracking than in Aug. 11-12 tracking."
In a Purple Strategies poll, Ryan was the only person on either ticket who had higher favorables than unfavorable numbers (45% to 39%).
More importantly, independents view Ryan favorably by a nine-point margin (46% to 37%), and Ryan has helped Romney make inroads among independent voters. According to Purple Strategies, the Romney-Ryan ticket "is fueled by an 11-point advantage among independents" which "represents an increase from July, when Romney held a 5-point margin over Obama" among independents.
Romney trailed Obama in Virginia and Ohio in last month's Purple Strategies Poll by two and three points, respectively. Now, Romney leads In Virginia and Ohio, by three and two points, respectively. And this momentum is the result of independents viewing Romney more favorably.
In addition, Romney, whose favorables were a net negative 8 points last month, now only has a net negative 3-point favorability rating, which is an improvement of five points.

First Run
So today I decided that I was either going to go crazy or try to run. I decided that since I'm already completely nuts, that I had better try the run. I prepared my poor rear as best I could. I took Advil (more drugs?). Before Canyon woke up, I went out to the snowbanks when no one was around–at least as far as I could tell, dropped my pants and sat in to ice until my butt was beyond numb. I know that sounds crazy, but it is certainly one thing I appreciate the snow for is instant ice packs. Ya, my rear felt good after that–or maybe it stayed numb long enough that I thought it was better? Anyway after that and a good stretch, I decided I was ready to run. After I took Canyon to school, I met up with Art and his new cute little pest, for a short run around Liberty Park. I was slow, protective, and in a little pain, but hey, I ran. I can't wait until I'm better. Afterwards I did an hour death sentence spin on my trainer in Art's basement staring at his pipes and counting the number of times I clubbed Lucy in the face with my pedal. Does she really forget that fast, or does she like being wacked?
So tonight? I am a little sore, but my mental/emotional side feels very, very, good.
Can't wait for the next run, and the next, and the next!

American Eagle Public Art Commission
Tree Artists: Kathleen Mulcahy and Ron Desmett
PITTSBURGH — "Tree" a 40' high "I" beam construction was installed in late October 2007 in preparation for Pittsburgh 250th birthday celebration. The site was completed in 2008 with the finishing of the first of several buildings under construction by American Eagle at the Southside Works of Pittsburgh.
This artwork was inspired by the long history of Pittsburgh's steel industry and the fact that the new American Eagle Headquarters is built on the former site of the Jones and Laughlin Steel Plant. "I" Beams were used, reminiscent of the steel industry with construction of the tree taking place in Boswell, PA at Somerset Steel Erection. This tree was designed using a CAD program that allowed the artists to "build" the model on computer, shaping, sizing, moving, bending and shifting every branch and limb into place. The model was sent directly to the plant's computer cutting machines to cut specific sizes that were fit together by advanced steel workers and welders. The installation took place in late October 07 following that the site then could be prepared for lighting and finishing. The work is now complete. There is a second smaller 20' high tree between buildings on the same street constructed with the same shape in mind but altered for scale and balance.
Mulcahy and Desmett were thrilled for the chance to work on this scale and for such a great company. American Eagle wanted a strong image that reflected their image and gave the artists free reign to tackle the creation and building of the tree. The artists were excited about working with such talented computer specialists, steel workers, and welders all working tirelessly for many months. The tree can be seen as you approach the Southside Works from the Hot Metal Bridge.
Mulcahy works as an independent artist with her husband and partner, Desmett. Their work has won numerous awards, both together and individually; the Renwick Galleries at the Smithsonian Institution of Washington, DC acquired their collaborative work "Crossings 1982" this year. The Renwick recently purchased a Lidded Trunk Vessel from Desmett for their permanent collection as well as the Carnegie Museums of Pittsburgh. Kathleen has received numerous honors including an NEA and the Creative Acheivment Award from the Pittsburgh Cultural Trust. Mulcahy and Desmett played a key role in founding the Pittsburgh Glass Center, a public access art center for the encouragement of innovative use of glass in art and design. They reside in Oakdale, Pennsylvania where they have studios for glass and sculpture.

Chilean and French scientists have discovered a network of underground caves on a remote island in Patagonia that could provide valuable clues as to how continents were formed.
The group found the system of around 20 limestone caves this week during a research trip to Diego de Almagro island off the far southwest coast of Chile.
Scientists had to abseil and scubadive to get into the caves, some of which are around 65 feet deep. They found wall paintings and bone fragments left by the indigenous Kawesqar people that could help date the caves.
"You can make models of areas where the continents broke off and this could be one of those spots," said speleologist Natalia Morata.
The expedition is the latest in a series by the French Centre Terre association, who have found types of rock in the caves normally found in more temperate zones. The finds could give clues as to how the continents split apart.

NOTE 3/2016: I've added the whole article here: http://solunars.net/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=4563
As part of the "closer is stronger" view, technically "an orb begins nowhere exactly and builds up to its peak power at the point of exact aspect." It's not a matter of whether an aspect "exists," but of its relative strength. This variability in aspect strength is not likely linear - a linear progression makes no sense when compared to the rest of nature's behavior, and it isn't what shows in astrological research. As Garth Allen wrote,
DIGRESSION: I first anchored this basic understanding when reading Bradley's book on stock market forecasting. He proposed a view of aspects that he abandoned at the end of his life, but which I think is basically correct. The view is that aspect strength tapers according to a sine curve. On the theory that (for the major, classic aspects) the largest orb - the dividing line, for example, between when two planets are in trine and then are in square - has to be half-way between. Therefore, "zero aspectivity" would be 15° either side (the farthest you could go without moving into a different aspect). Setting the sine curve at its lowest value for a 15° orb, it just so happens (even though it's a curve, not linear) that the 50% point is exactly at 7.5°. I interpreted the 50% threshold as "more likely to manifest than not." - I therefore picked that as my outside orb for these aspects. (The sine curve also has some other interesting "threshold" qualities. For example, 99.5% effectiveness - what would found to 100% - falls almost exactly at the 1° orb point, which I find very interesting.) Because the gap between a conjunction and opposition and the nearest classic aspect is double the gap between a trine and square, or sextile and square, I realized this matched the observation that conjunctions and oppositions may have larger orbs. I empirically found that "ultimate drop off" (more likely to manifest than not) to be 10° for those aspects. - More on all of this later.The one certainty that emerges from our present understanding, though, is that the power of an aspect tapers off from its peak in a curvilinear fashion until it becomes so weak at a fair distance from partile, as to be unappreciable."
Garth Allen then gave the method he used for orbs - both for structuring a statistical study and for examining individual birth charts - preceeding it with some interesting results from his earlier statistical studies on aspects.
His observations:
The average chart contyains 5 or 6 major (i.e., 5 classical) asspectysd within 3°00'. He calls these "first-order aspects, or aspects of the first order, since they are undoubtedly the strongest." (An individual chart can vary widely from this "5 or 6" average.)
Aspects between 3°00' and 6°00' he called :second-order aspects." Those from 6°00' to 9°00' he called "third-order aspects." All of this was for convenience, and he acknowledged that, "There is no special reason for using these terms, these orders." They served him "in making sure that I pay first attention to the closest couplings before bothering about the wider ones." (This one sentence, btw, has been the core of my horoscope analysis practice for 40 years or so.)
The 3° divisions are somewhat arbitrary, but also conform to some things actually observed in the aggregate in the past. Repeatedly, he had found that when an aspect pair was statistically significant in some study, it was significant within roughly a 3° zone, give or take. (Notice that this doesn't prove what an orb shold be, only what orb shows factors strong enough to stand out in examination of a group rather than an individual.)
Among professional athletes, the statistical score peaked at 2°50'.
Among lifelong bachelors, they peaked at 3°35'.
He adds a further consideration in passing, that, in examining an individual chart, one should consider the relative uniqueness of an aspect within one's community. All the aspects out through Mars-Pluto complete their cycle in 2.5 years or less. These, therefore, have the strongest importance of uniqueness. (Note how this makes Jupiter-outward and Saturn-outward aspects for a factor of your wider community.) Since I was studying astrology from the beginning of high school, I have always carried the "threshold test" of, "How much does this factor distinguish you from everyone else in your graduating class, or similar age range?"The drop-off in significance beyond four degres is startlingly steep, and in the statistical studies of particular events there is invariably a glaring absence of cases past the four-degree boundary, justifying the general rule that "ifg it doesn't happen within three degrees, it ain't agonna happen!" In the collecive analysis of suicides, the margin was even narrower.

Scotland's Constitution Is Not the Problem
Alex Salmond should address public-sector dependency instead of plotting for a referendum.
To hear First Minister Alex Salmond tell it, gaining independence from the U.K. is the most pressing issue facing Scots. But a look at the state of the Scottish economy, with public spending totaling more than 55% of GDP, reveals an unsustainably large public sector. This not only drags on the private economy. It also makes it hard to imagine how the Scottish state could ever survive if sundered from subsidies from other U.K. taxpayers.
Today, a quarter of people in Scotland are directly employed in public service. This compares...
